Read the export without overstating it

  1. 1. Identify the source. Use the original filename and preservation manifest above. Keep the exact collection and record identifier when citing a row.
  2. 2. Keep blanks and labels separate from facts. A blank means the export has no value in that column—not “no,” “false,” or “nothing happened.” Source status labels are not current agency findings.
  3. 3. Check the original before concluding. Open the referenced record, distinguish what it says from an interpretation, and note what is missing.

The field notes below are reading cautions, not a newly verified data definition or a validation of source claims. Population counts describe the preserved full collection, not the currently filtered page. Original records and downloads are unchanged.
